FTP/TLS site commands

I'm trying to figure out how to issue a SITE command to change my
password, which the vendor requires that I do monthly. They have a
chgpsw command that I'm supposed to use. I've included the session
where I'm trying to issue the command.

Try "help ftp site" and then if you see "chgpsw" then
"help ftp site chgpsw".

I believe Frank meant "FTP SITE HELP"

"FTP SITE HELP" gives me another Kermit prompt without any output.

"FTP SITE CHGPSW" gives "SITE unknown option".

"FTP SITE HELP CHGPSW" gives "SITE unknown option".

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

David

Re: FTP/TLS site commands

If you are received "SITE unknown option" that is coming
from the First Health FTP Server. I suggest you contact
their technical support folks.

This does appear to be a bug. If you turn on ftp verbose mode

SET FTP VERBOSE ON

then you will see the output. The Kermit FTP response processor
must look for 214 messages and display them even when verbose mode is
off.
